What this card does

Place this card from your hand onto your Bench to put one damage counter on an opponent's Pokemon once per turn.

Use the Toxic Fang attack to poison the defending Pokemon and deal two damage counters between turns instead of one.

Signature ability

Flash Bite

Once during your turn, when you put Crobat G from your hand onto your Bench, you may put 1 damage counter on 1 of your opponent's Pokémon.

The Flash Bite ability lets you strike immediately when Crobat G enters play, giving you early pressure. The Toxic Fang attack worsens the poison effect, ensuring the opponent takes more damage over time.
